Hi everyone! January is almost over – it’s been quite the month! I hope you were able to kick off your 2025 stitching successfully and are having fun, whether you’re meeting personal goals or just stitching to stitch. 🙂 I’m straddling both ideas at the moment and enjoying myself, even as I make a total […]

Melissa
January 5, 2025 2 Comments

Hi everyone! So… I went to get this post up and realized – I forgot to post the December Wrap Up entry! EEP! I’m so sorry! I had it in drafts but never set the posting date. My family returned from our trip down to Florida to visit my mom for Christmas week, and I […]

I’ll be challenging myself with my fairly large To-Be-Read pile in my house to fit books to various challenges this year. I may not complete them all, or I may extend them beyond 2025 just because, but I’ll give them my best shot. 🙂 These are the ones that looked particularly interesting to me. I […]

One of my goals in 2024 was to read more. I’d fallen completely out of reading during Covid due to all of the chaos – trying to work full-time remote while also training multiple people remotely to do my job (which changes in both scope and workflow nearly monthly), helping my son as a first-grader […]

I’m turning 50 in 2025, and I decided that as part of celebrating my half century turn around the sun, I’m going to do a Stitch What I Want, When I Want year. If I want to start something new? Cool – go for it. If I focus on a piece for a while? That’s […]

2025 WIP List

Current WIPs Note: Must have been started prior to 2025. Bolded means I have worked on them in 2025. Legacy/UFO Projects Note: These are projects, either started before 2013 or that I’ve adopted from others but have not yet stitched on personally, that are in a holding pattern – especially because I have too many […]

Hi everyone! Here we are – the end of 2024! How did you do on your stitching goals this year? My year was a little uneven. I managed to do quite a lot of stitching, but at the end of it all – only three finishes. but… I focused a lot on one specific piece, […]

Hi everyone! The season is definitely heading toward winter, and I am so ready for cozy nights under my electric blanket on the couch with either stitching or a good book in my hand! I’ve been doing some initial stitching plans for 2025, trying to resist ALL OF THE SALS (omg, so many!), and prepare […]

Hi everyone! Peak color has flashed over here in my area of Rhode Island – we’re now entering the cold evenings that seem to force the trees to drop leaves in earnest. I think two of my trees completely emptied themselves onto the lawn overnight. With the colder weather, my desire to get cozy on […]

Hi everyone! Happy Autumn (or Spring, if you’re on the opposite side of the world)! I hope that the change of seasons is bringing you inspiration of new possibilities, both for stitching and life in general. It’s been a busy month of change in my household since the last check-in. My son started middle school […]

Hi, I'm Measi

about
(a/k/a Melissa)

I'm turning 50 in 2025, and exploring this new decade of my life with a refocus on blogging about my life - marriage, parenthood, being owned by cats, Paganism, cross stitching, journaling, books, and letter writing... and probably some other stuff along the way. Nothing monetized here - just old-fashioned personal blogging.
